The domestic cup competitions are back in England and so are Manchester United. After an early exit from the Carabao Cup, the Red Devils will focus on winning the FA Cup to salvage their difficult season. They face Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Monday in the cup tie.
Manchester United are struggling with their form across all competitions. In their previous game, they dug deep but failed to register a win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Joao Moutinho scored the goal in the 83rd minute to take home all three points for the Molineux-based outfit.
Aston Villa have found themselves out of the relegation muddle but have three losses in the past five games. They lost their previous game to Brentford at Brentford Community Stadium. Steve G will look to bounce back with a win against Old Trafford whom they defeated last time in the PL.
